Patents by Inventor Qiulin Xu

Qiulin Xu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10929102
    Abstract: A true random number generator is provided. The true random number generator includes an Exclusive-Or (XOR) circuit and multiple random entropy source circuits. One entropy source sampling process is performed at an output terminal of each of at least two inverters in each of the multiple random entropy source circuits, which is performed by a flip-flop corresponding to the inverter. Sampling results are inputted to an XOR unit in the random entropy source circuit and XOR processing is performed on the sampling results. XOR processing results outputted by the multiple of random entropy source circuits are inputted to the XOR circuit, and the XOR processing is performed on the XOR processing results to obtain a random number sequence.

  • Publication number: 20180191353
    Abstract: A physical unclonable function (PUF) circuit structure is provided, which comprises: n passive conductor groups and n XOR units, where each of the n passive conductor groups comprises m passive conductors, each of the m passive conductors comprises a first terminal connected to a power supply and a second terminal connected to an input terminal of a corresponding XOR unit of the n XOR units; and the second terminals of passive conductors within the same passive conductor group are connected to an input terminal of the corresponding XOR unit. In the circuit structure, the connection randomness of the passive conductors is achieved by using a different widths and/or different spaces of the passive conductors, and then a PUF function can be realized.
